Leonardo DiCaprio has been forced to hand Marlon Brando's 1954 Best Actor Oscar over to federal agents in the U.S. as part of a major fraud investigation.

The actor, who also has a Best Actor Oscar of his own for his role in 2015 film "The Revenant", was given Brando's On the Waterfront gong as a gift by Malaysian financier Jho Low, who bought the trophy for $600,000 (£479,000) at auction.

Leonardo was ordered to hand over all gifts he has received from Low, who also financed the actor's "The Wolf of Wall Street" movie - and now the Oscar statuette is in the hands of federal officials, as is a painting by Pablo Picasso, which was another present from the businessman, according to Page Six.
